Cristina Calderoni's letter work explores the journey home, confusion, and loss, portraying home as both a personal and shared experience. The artist seeks to transcend her subjective self, embracing the specificity and evolution of the bodies she interacts with. Calderoni archives attempts, words, and gestures, examining the dynamics, particularities, and commonalities of relationships. Through intimacy and sharing, she collects traces from people and spaces, encapsulating their stories in her work and translating them into variable lettering and media. Her artistic practice delves into the earthly, relational realm, where physical interactions spark a visual epiphany.
